All these new TLDs honestly just look like ".info" to me. That is, super-scammy and fake-seeming.
If I want to go to Canon's website, I will search for "Canon" or try canon.com.
I'm not going to think "Of course, canon.camera! Or maybe canon.printer or canon.toner!"
- megablast 12y agoYup, but you have picked a stupid example. What if you wanted a new app, like cup? Now you will be able to differentiate between the different cup's easier?
- profmonocle 12y ago.info got that reputation because Afilias has constant "promotional" pricing of $2-$3 for the first year. Very attractive to fraudsters who know the domain won't be around for that long.
- walshemj 12y agoYep I worked on one of the other TLD's in that round .coop (I sat next to the technical architect) and .info was obviously in spend lost of cash to get rich quick and not worry about the long term consequences mode.
- atmosx 12y agoYou're thinking as a 2012 netizen. Imagine how Google will sort results in 2025 on searches about Pharmacies and New York City restaurants when .nyc, .healthcare, .food and .pharmacy will be around.
